About

QAIT Association

A Swiss non-profit association established to govern the economic and compliance framework of the SEALCOIN ecosystem. Independent, neutral, and technically grounded.

Mission

To create and maintain a trustworthy, compliant, and economically sustainable framework for autonomous machine-to-machine economies — where billions of devices can transact securely without human intermediaries.

QAIT Association operates at the intersection of cryptographic security, regulatory compliance, and decentralised governance — providing the institutional infrastructure the machine economy needs to scale.

Principles

  • NeutralityIndependent of any single technology company or nation state.
  • TransparencyGovernance decisions documented and publicly accessible.
  • Swiss StandardsOperating under Swiss law with the precision and stability it provides.
  • Technical RigourAll specifications grounded in proven cryptographic and hardware security standards.
  • Post-Quantum SecurityDesigned to integrate post-quantum cryptographic algorithms, ensuring long-term security against emerging computational threats including quantum computing.
